Homework 3
DS502/MA543
Your answers will be graded both on your demonstrated understanding of the concepts from the
book and from the class, as well as the clarity of your explanations.
Please submit your homework online on canvas.wpi.edu before the start of class on Thursday,
March 19. Please make sure that all team member names appear on the submission and that every
submission is stand-alone (i.e., does make the grader read or run your code)! and don’t zip your
files! In addition, for any problem on which you write code, plus submit your code on canvas.wpi.edu.
You will not be graded your programming style, but having access to your code will allow us to
more easily give partial credit.
Hint for all of the coding exercises: Be sure to look at the R scripts in the book. They should help a
lot.
Note, since this homework only covers one chapter, and overlaps with the midterm, this homework is
shorter than the rest.
